Answer 1

In modern periodic table, the non-metals are found in p-block.

Explanation:

In the modern periodic table, non-metals are found in the p-block (Groups 13-18) because their outermost electrons enter the p-orbital. These elements tend to gain electrons, forming negative ions, and include reactive non-metals (oxygen, fluorine, chlorine) and noble gases (helium, neon, argon).
